Hi, I recently bought a new pc for my daughter and I am experiencing this problem (8016 error), on a windows 7 platform. I have downloaded the patches but as others have already mentioned, I am unable to install them anyway as the game will not launch. Being a non expert on harware/software matters, I'm trying to garner from posts on the site on whether this is due to my firewall (Avira), or whether it is the BIOS installed with my ASRock H110M-HDV/D3 motherboard.
Spore was a xmas gift to my 10 year old daughter but here I am 2 days later still working on a solution. (please note that the patience of a 10 year old is not great!) 😛
You mentioned a digital version working on your desktop, but is this not the version that I would have downloaded via the EA Origin
Version 9.11.2.10120 - 403336 platform?
Sorry to all if this is a question already answered for Windows 7 issues..... :-)
Cheers, Peter
Hi @MimiGGg123 and Peter
I'll try my best, I really do like it when kids have no patience. :-)
A guide how to be updated a BIOS , can be found here -> ASRock /(ASUS)

Regarding the firewall ports, Spore uses the following settings.
This applies to all firewall manufacturer as Avira, Norton Security, etc.
TCP PORTS:
80
443
18120
18060

Thats okay Peter. Spore works in all versions of Origin, this is only the latest version number of Origin Client.
If all this does not help, contact the support inside from Origin, keep an eye on my pic how it works.
I hope this will help.
Cheers
